As the official keeper of Missoula County District Court records, the Clerk of District Court works to serve and engage the public while also maintaining documents essential to the county’s heritage.
The office files more than 5,000 new cases and issues over 800 new marriage licenses annually and retains records related to adoption, civil, criminal, dependent neglect, domestic relations, guardianship, juvenile, paternity, probate and involuntary commitment cases. The office pulls jurors for Municipal, Justice and District court judges from a combined list of active registered voters, licensed drivers and Montana ID card holders, which the Office of the Court Administrator provides each May. The Clerk of Court maintains an accurate list of all selected jurors and pulls individual jury panels for District Court judges.
